Master TMO: Lemon is further away. I'd have to drive to slap her head

JtomTMO: Hey Lemon

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That would be rude

seyfert: ony lile 3 hours

Master TMO: apparently I am rude

Levi Reed: Why does my head need to be slapped?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But kinda works lol

wyjyoon: lol

seyfert: lol

Rothuss Carder: It's better than shanking

wyjyoon: I'm not sure if blunt-force trauma to the head is better than a stab wound.

GM: We are on Third Watch, with Temp and Lirt

seyfert: that's why you slap his head, it's Levi too

seyfert: since he missed 1st and 3rd

seyfert: ...*and 2nd

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm still catching up on last week, give me a couple more minutes

GM: no worries

Vee Barlett: be careful sleeping in too long....

seyfert (Vee Barlett): ooc

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): but how permanent is Rothuss' doodles on his face?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): more than a simple bucket of water on a ship will remove

wyjyoon (Temperance): I put semi-permanent in summary because I wasn't sure lol

Rothuss Carder: squats down next to their bunks.

Rothuss Carder: Ladies, time to wake up.

Rothuss Carder: taps them on their shoulders.

Temperance: rubs her eyes and stretches.

Temperance: 'm up, I'm up.

Lirtimya: Sits up, and prepares for the final shift

Temperance: blinks at Rothuss' face.

Temperance: What happened to you?

Lirtimya: Trying a new look out?

Rothuss Carder: Apparently I'm practicing for a new role in the group - if you run out of paper, I'm your replacement.

Rothuss Carder: grins

Lirtimya: I'll keep that in mind

Temperance: muffles a laugh.

Temperance: I'm glad you're at least positive about it.

Rothuss Carder: Fun is fun, and payback is even more fun.

Levi Reed: go away

Temperance: Good luck with that.

Temperance: shakes her head and climbs above board.

Rothuss Carder: cracks his knuckles.

Rothuss Carder: Oh, definitely.

Rothuss Carder: rolls into an empty bunk.

Lirtimya: Makes her way to the helm of the ship

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 18]

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 17]

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 16]

Lirtimya: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 304]

Temperance: Smelting the dice down, forging new ones, and giving them a test roll! [10d4+10d6+10d8+10d10+10d12+10d20 = 357]

Levi Reed: begrudgingly makes his way to the deck or whatever

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Weather Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 4]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 12]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Direction Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 13]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Distance Sense [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 3]

Temperance: does not notice much in the dark.

Lirtimya: Has lost where they are, and can't seem to figure out where they got to

Levi Reed: Pretty sure we're on the right track, just keep going

Lirtimya: I'll just keep us going in this direction, or if you both feels it's a better idea we could drop anchor instead

Temperance: Might as well keep going? I think Vee was on watch before ours. She might've steered us in the right direction. I hope.

Levi Reed: Heck no, we're not dropping anchor. Vee will murder us if we stop for no reason

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (anchor was down for 2nd watch)

Temperance: walks and sees if the anchor is still dropped.

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I failed obs. roll, so Lirt probably didn't notice that

Temperance: I... stand corrected? Might as well keep going, right? I'm not too sure about whether this thing is anchored, though.

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]

wyjyoon (Temperance): oh now it decides to work

GM: The seas seem to be calm and safe

Levi Reed: Just keep sailing just keep sailing

Lirtimya: If it's anchored I say we keep it anchored, the ship might've gotten turned around while sitting still

Levi Reed: Well, you're the first mate for a reason, I'll defer to you

Levi Reed: And blame you if Vee gets cranky about it

Temperance: nods in understanding.

Temperance: I'm sure Vee will understand.

Lirtimya: Better to stay still than get farther away

Temperance: She might have temper, but she knows her ships.

Temperance: The waters are appearing calm, at least.

Levi Reed: She does, and so does Lirt. So she might also be like 'why'd you keep us anchored, you dumdums? It was perfect sailing weather!'

Temperance: Hm... flip a coin, then?

Levi Reed: I'm going with whatever Lirt wants, she's the navigator

Levi Reed: But I'm not taking any blame for a wrong choice, either!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I'm assuming by "the seas seem to be calm and safe" there's also not much wind?

GM: Correct

Temperance: We'll try our best to keep you out of shanking range.

Temperance: grins lightly.

Lirtimya: This much wind may not be able to move us far anyways, so whichever we end up doing we probably won't get far

Lirtimya: Do either of you have a coin?

Temperance: rummages in her bag for one.

Temperance: Perhaps...?

wyjyoon (Temperance): (leaving it up to bob)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): y'all got gold coins....

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm sure we'd all have coins

GM: Yes you do

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Levi is just not getting involved in a coin flip lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh well in that case

wyjyoon (Temperance): What do I roll for flipping a coin?

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I have to roll?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): d2 and call it 1 or 2, lol

Temperance: finds a coin in her bag and flips it up in the air.

wyjyoon (Temperance): d2 is the triangle one right?

Lirtimya: Headds keep going, tails we keep the anchor down

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I think so

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): 1-2 is 1 and 3-4 is 2

Temperance: [d4 = 1]

Temperance: Well, that's heads.

Lirtimya: Let's raise the anchor then

Temperance: glances down at the coin in her palm.

GM: You can always right click on a Die and roll how ever many sides you want

'MadamePsychosis' connected

Levi Reed: Why are you second guessing yourself, Lirt?

GM: [d2 = 1]

GM: And hello Lisa

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ah, gotcha. Convenient!

wyjyoon (Temperance): Hey Lisa !

Temperance: I'm pretty sure it was this lever to pull the anchor...

Temperance: tugs on the lever.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hi lisa!

GM: CLANK CLANK CLANK as the chains and ropes go splash

MadamePsychosis: Hello :)

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Hello

Levi Reed: slowly backs away and keeps watch in the other direction

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): hello lisa!

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Tries to keep them going on a straight path, which probably isn't hard with such weak winds

Lirtimya: Tries to keep them going on a straight path, which probably isn't hard with such weak winds

Levi Reed: So. How'd you sleep?

GM: Alterness and or Observation and or Danger Sense

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 7] [d20 = 6]

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

GM: Temp sees that creeping up onto the side of the boat

Temperance: What kind of sea creature- We've got company!

Temperance: calls over to the others.

Levi Reed: heads over to see

Levi Reed: What is it?

Lirtimya: Looks over the edge to see

Temperance: Don't get too close, it looks rather large-

GM: You see that crawling UP over the railing

Temperance: backs away a couple steps to get her bearings.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): We see what?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Giant crocodile thing

Temperance: It appears to be some sort of crocodile.

GM: I have the top of the CT set for you

GM: Levi, then Temp, then Lirt, then the Croc

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oh, I see now

Levi Reed: Good eating on those!

Lirtimya: If we can kill it, I'll make sure to cook you some

Temperance: It's got some rough skin, hopefully it won't take long to pierce through that.

Levi Reed: Machetes should be able to handle that

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): horn would come in pretty handy ... :D

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): fish?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Maybe?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I was going to try arrows again but that works too

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): At least we can maybe distract the one that we haven't started attacking yet lol

Temperance: Maybe they're just hungry, like the shark?

Temperance: searches for some fish onboard or in her pouch.

GM: So Temp has the option of waking others, attacking by weapon or spell on either of the two

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh okay arrows it is

GM: You can yell also

GM: If you are not casting

Temperance: [ATTACK (R)] [THACO(18)] [d20 = 9]

Lirtimya: Will rush under the deck and shout to start waking people up

Levi Reed: Ugh, Vee is going to decimate me for not being able to handle a couple of crocodiles

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Constitution (vs. Target 9) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 1]

GM: So Roth can roll Init

Rothuss Carder: [INIT] [d10 = 10]

Rothuss Carder: [INIT] [d10 = 5]

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): whoops, don't need to double-click that one

GM: see

GM: OK so at the Start of Round 3 the Init on the CT is correct, everyone goes before the Crocs do

GM: They are moving very slowly

GM: Temp and Levi are up on the deck fighting them off

GM: Lirt came down to wake everyone

wyjyoon (Temperance): Well.. trying to at least

GM: BUT that meant that the one moved forward and is now blocking the doors to the hold

GM: #1 is on top of those hatches

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): greaaaaat

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh fantastic

[TURN] Rothuss Carder

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): can I reach it to attack?

GM: I will also give Temp a wisdom check before we move forward

Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]

GM: If Vee was actually there to tell you

GM: would have gotten a bonus but you don't need no bonus

-> Temperance: Wait a minute.... those are large, moving very slowly, and they are.... undead... they are ZOMBIE Crocodiles

wyjyoon (Temperance): bonus for what?

wyjyoon (Temperance): OH heck no

GM: BUT

seyfert (Vee Barlett): vee is giving her a telepathic bonus

GM: Roth is up first

seyfert (Vee Barlett): werecroc?

GM: a big heavy slow object is laying on top of the hatch to get to the deck

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but also don't wear croc(s)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): they still don't look good

Temperance: Those crocodiles are moving very slowly. They appear to be undead, Levi!

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): can I attack it, or is the door held shut?

GM: door is held shut, but there are the holes through the grates

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): str check to toss the croc?

GM: depending on your weapon

GM: Or that

Temperance: runs a hand through her hair and mumbles something about 'what is with these ghosts and undead these days...'

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): sabre or dagger

seyfert (Vee Barlett): does temp have turn undead?

GM: Dagger yes, Sabre at a minus 2

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think so

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): turning would be good

wyjyoon (Temperance): If I go to abilities tab there's a section labeled turn undead

wyjyoon (Temperance): Can I use that though?

Rothuss Carder: hops up the ladder and shoves the point of his main-gauche through a hole in the slats, aiming for a weak spot at a joint, like elbow or shoulder.

GM: If it is there then yes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Can I not stab a werecroc or what?

Rothuss Carder: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(18)] [ENC: Moderate] [d20-1 = 12]

[TURN] Inv Zora Polasis

Rothuss Carder: Rothuss is hanging off one side of the ladder, so there's room for someone else on the other side.

Turn Undead

Turn Undead The cleric is also granted power over undead -- evil creatures that exist in a form of non-life, neither dead nor alive. The cleric is charged with defeating these mockeries of life. His ability to turn undead (see "Turning Undead" in Chapter 9: Combat) enables him to drive away these creatures or destroy them utterly (though a cleric of evil alignment can bind the creatures to his will). Some of the more common undead creatures are ghosts, zombies, skeletons, ghouls, and mummies. Vampires and liches (undead sorcerers) are two of the most powerful undead. *Table 61: Turning Undead

Table 61: Turning Undead

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): will the rapier fit?

GM: Yes the Rapier will fit with no negatives

GM: it is designed to stab

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): yup - thx

wyjyoon (Temperance): I'll try to use it on my turn, but it's not listed in the action tab, so I don't know if I have to roll separately for it or nah

GM: That table I shared Wendy

Inv Zora Polasis: goes to the other side of Rothuss and tries to stab the crocodile

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh, I just click on the table?

Inv Zora Polasis: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(19)] [d20 = 7]

Attack [7] ->[ATTACK (M)] (Rapier) [at Strange Crocodiles 1] [Hit-AC: 12 vs. 4 ] [AC: 12 ] [MISS]

[TURN] Levi Reed

GM: Leaving you outside of the boat until you make it to the deck

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): hmm

GM: Two different ones Levi could attack

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I guess I'm going to go for the one blocking the gate, so everyone else can get up here and help?

Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe if we both pushed on the hatch we could push the crocodile away?

Levi Reed: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(16)] [d20 = 10]

Attack [10] ->[ATTACK (M)] (Machete) [at Strange Crocodiles 1] [Hit-AC: 6 vs. 4 ] [AC: 6 ] [MISS]

Levi Reed: [ATTACK (M)] [THACO(16)] [d20 = 18]

Attack [18] ->[ATTACK (M)] (Machete) [at Strange Crocodiles 1] [Hit-AC: -2 vs. 4 ] [AC: -2 ] [HIT]

Levi Reed: [DAMAGE (M)] Machete [TYPE: slashing (1d8=3)] [d8 = 3]

Damage [3] -> [to Strange Crocodiles 1] [STATUS: Light]

[TURN] Temperance

The cleric is charged with defeating these mockeries of life. His ability to turn undead (see "Turning Undead" in Chapter 9: Combat) enables him to drive away these creatures or destroy them utterly (though a cleric of evil alignment can bind the creatures to his will).

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Well, at least I know it's POSSIBLE

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): nice to see a hit!

wyjyoon (Temperance): whoops I didn't mean to copy that

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: So what level if Temp?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Level 4 I think

GM: chuckles, it says on your sheet

wyjyoon (Temperance): Level 4

GM: So roll a d20

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok

Temperance: [d20 = 11]

GM: and what can you turn at level four with an 11

GM: Is on that Table 61

wyjyoon (Temperance): Um gimme a minute

seyfert (Vee Barlett): a frown upside down?

GM: nice

GM: :( :)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lich or 11 + hd?

wyjyoon (Temperance): dunno what that means

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): weres aren't undead though ...

GM: No to Wendy, Level 4 priest across the top, and then go down to what the 11 or less means,

seyfert (Vee Barlett): hit dice

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): now that I think about it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): apparently I was wrong, not weres but undead crocs

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): zombie crocs?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): unless they're undead werecrocs then that's worse

GM: So a 4th level priest automatically turns Skeletons or a 1 HD undead

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): who is the bizarro necromancer in this area?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): if I understood the brief exchange correctly, undead crocs yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh is that what I'm looking for

GM: Do you understand that part Wendy?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): sorry I missed that

seyfert (Vee Barlett): dunno, we haven't seen his cloak color yet

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): LOL

GM: Orange, DUH

wyjyoon (Temperance): not really, it might just be that everything is written horizontally

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: So you are level 4 so you to to that column and then read down

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): orange cloak hmmm

wyjyoon (Temperance): right, i get that part

seyfert (Vee Barlett): think his actual name is Pilton but that's a stupid name so he needs a nickname

GM: you rolled an 11 so you turn Skeletons, Zombie, Ghoul or 2 HD, Shadow, etc

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *pitlon

wyjyoon (Temperance): OH i get it now

GM: But NOT a Wight or 5 HD Undead

wyjyoon (Temperance): it's just any number that falls under 11

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): correct

wyjyoon (Temperance): *less than 11

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): 11 or less, technically

wyjyoon (Temperance): So skeletons, zombies or ghouls then

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): and shadows

GM: So you turn any undead of 4 HD or less with that roll

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Shadow is a 10, you rolled 11, so you could turn that

GM: I want to walk through it because this is the first time anyone has used Turning Undead in a long time

wyjyoon (Temperance): but the crocodiles are zombies right?

GM: Yes

GM: 3 HD zombies

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok

wyjyoon (Temperance): I can only turn one of them because combined would be 6 HD then?

GM: So you turn 1d6 Undead of that type

wyjyoon (Temperance): okie dokes

Temperance: [d6 = 5]

wyjyoon (Temperance): Was I supposed to do that

GM: es

wyjyoon (Temperance): Ok cool

wyjyoon (Temperance): Learning as I go rn, thanks for being patient : )

Turning Undead

GM: The full page from the Players Handbook for you

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): it's fun when you're high enough to just auto-destroy the undead. :D

wyjyoon (Temperance): It pops up as a small square labeled "turning undead" with two arrows that I can't click

GM: Maybe you did not load the Players Handbook on your side

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): drag a corner to enlarge it

GM: you can go to Modules or Books and you can read it

GM: And also Lisa

Rothuss Carder: What the heck were those?

GM: The weight over the hatch suddenly disipates

GM: and the three of you come up top

GM: Levi and Temp get to try to explain what happened

Levi Reed: They just... left?

Vee Barlett: Why'd y'all wake me up??

Levi Reed: There were crocodiles...

Vee Barlett: Out this far?

Temperance: There were two undead crocodiles above board, of massive size. I'm not really sure what happened to make them go away so suddenly.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): wouldn't you know?

Lirtimya: They were undead? More undead?

Vee Barlett: How ya not know? Didn't I hear ya yell somethin'?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Yeah Temp cast it, she would know right?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I did?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): she should lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): I wasn't sure I cast it or not

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh ok then yeah

wyjyoon (Temperance): Sorry I'm all over the place tonight.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): it was your big priesty power - Begone foul undead beasts!

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): you channeled the power of your faith and drove the undead away

Vee Barlett: Hmm, ya think Firebeard got crocs? That's a cool animal companion in retrospect...

GM: yes Temp would know she WILLED them away, by TURNING them

Lirtimya: Undead crocs for an undead pirate

GM: Not a spell, it is an inate power granted by her God

Rothuss Carder: Hmm... does garlic work against undead?

Temperance: I did try willing them away by turning them. I don't have a lot of experience with the undead, so...

GM: Garlic a litle basil, and shallots, sure that works with crocs

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 5]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it tastes like salty fish so recommend

Vee Barlett: Huh, well good job, I guess?

GM: Rothus has never heard of undead crocodiles

Rothuss Carder: Well, garlic supposedly works against vampires, but I haven't heard of it working against zombies.

Rothuss Carder: I mean, it can't hurt though, right?

GM: It is always humans turned into ... but he did encounter those goblins that the Chupacabra turned

Vee Barlett: It can if ya can't do nothin' with it and get yer arm bitten off.

Temperance: Apologies for calling all of you up in the middle of your sleep.

Rothuss Carder: We'll have to get some garlic and see if it keeps the undead crocs away.

Temperance: smiles lightly.

Rothuss Carder: It may do nothing, or it may do everything!

Inv Zora Polasis: I'm just glad you got rid of them

GM: next up Vampire Crocodiles ;P

Levi Reed: Wasn't my choice to wake you, for the record. Pretty sure the machetes could've handled some crocs

Levi Reed: levi lies

Vee Barlett: And did they?

Temperance: Put it on the grocery list. At least we'll be able to use it for cooking.

Inv Zora Polasis: Think I'll go back down to sleep. I did pull a double watch

Inv Zora Polasis: goes below to try to sleep

Vee Barlett: Yar get some rest. We'll be in Mizzen soon enough.

Levi Reed: They were getting there

Temperance: I'll owe up to try and waking you. I got a bit nervous when another one showed up, and my arrows weren't hitting. As usual.

Vee Barlett: Uh huh.

Temperance: laughs lightly.

Vee Barlett: It's fine, but I'm not sure where we is so supposin' I'll take a nap, too.

Lirtimya: I'm sorry for waking you all up, it didn't look like we were making any progress

Vee Barlett: Lirt got this. Wake me when the sun more fully up.

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Navigation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 1] [d20 = 13]

GM: Letting the three of you discuss ideas

GM: about how to deal with in the future

GM: before moving to the full morning

Temperance: Lots of encounters with ghosts and undead recently.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I mean, seems like it worked. What is there to discuss?

Lirtimya: I think we need to start off willing undead to go away at this point there's so many

Lirtimya: Chuckles

Temperance: laughs lightly.

Temperance: Well, at least it worked this time. I've never actually tried it so I wasn't sure if it would be effective.

Temperance: I wonder if the quarterstaff I have works with channeling this willing the undead away thing I've got going on...

GM: It is all belief

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

Lirtimya: I'm very glad it worked, they would not have been fun to fight them

Levi Reed: How did you know they were undead?

Temperance: They were moving unusually slowly even for crocodiles of that size.

Temperance: I guess you could say it was a bit of hunch too.

The time is 8:30 AM

The date is Pen____de, 6th Sin (Late Summer), 587 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): That's it? Hell, you should've thought Jericho was undead

GM: It is morning

Levi Reed: That's it? Hell, you should've thought Jericho was undead

GM: LOL

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

Lirtimya: Laughs

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

GM: Everyone is up has their full spells

Temperance: Jericho isn't physically slow, from what I remember...?

Rothuss Carder's health adjusted by +1

Temperance: hesitates a bit at the end, a bit unsure.

Levi Reed's health adjusted by +1

Vee Barlett: sniffles from morning allergies

Vee Barlett: Someone otta dust this boat better...

GM: You are two hours off the coast

Rothuss Carder: snores

Vee Barlett: Smells like fish and dust.

GM: So at 10 rather than what you expected to be 8

GM: you arrive at port

Vee Barlett: sneezes

GM: (LINK)

GM: Mizzen

Temperance: There's dust on the boat? I would've expected it to be washed off with all the creatures splashing up seawater...

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): ok, so *somewhere* in the extra 2 hours, Rothuss will wake up......

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Rothuss Carder: Nah, I bet she's just allergic to land

Vee Barlett: Yar, that's more likely.

Rothuss Carder: does his morning stretches.

Temperance: laughs lightly and nods in understanding.

Vee Barlett: Alright, maybe we go clean up then find the Duke?

GM: So as you are arriving at port, now is the question, who what how do you want to proceed

GM: and you can talk about what happened last night

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): what who how?

GM: being the first time anyone has seen that

Levi Reed: Hey, we made it!

GM: Are you planning on just walking up to the Duke's manor house and saying Let us in?

Vee Barlett: Boat slow, but yeah.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): why not?

GM: grisn

Rothuss Carder: So.... I wonder if an undead croc's guts are in the same place as a live croc's...?

Inv Zora Polasis: Why wouldn't they be?

Temperance: They appeared to look similar in physical appearance.

Levi Reed: Yeah, fishing boats don't go fast, it'd scare all the fish away

Temperance: I'm not sure about their innards.

Rothuss Carder: Maybe you have to move or take them to make it undead?

Vee Barlett: They probably rotten like them goblins.

Rothuss Carder: It's some sort of ritual, isn't it? Rituals get weird.

Vee Barlett: Remember them?

Rothuss Carder: Not really...

Vee Barlett: Not surprised.

-> Inv Zora Polasis: Zora did not see the Zombie Goblins that they encountered with the Chupacabra

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): (in his defense, he got knocked unconscious immediately in that encounter)

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol that's right - for the second time

-> Temperance: Temp did not see the Zombie Goblins that they encountered with the Chupacabra

Levi Reed: I remember the goblins

Inv Zora Polasis: So you have dealt with zombies before?

Temperance: Zombie goblins?

Levi Reed: Yep

Rothuss Carder: Yes! Of course! ... maybe...

Levi Reed: Didn't know chupacabras could change things into undead, but that's clearly what's going on

Levi Reed: Got a far reach, too

Vee Barlett: Yar, at a cave near Achild.

Inv Zora Polasis: Good you have had the experience

Vee Barlett: Found a weird horn near it. I meant to get it looked at.

Temperance: Chupacabras can turn things into undead? Interesting.

Vee Barlett: The chupacabra has a suspiciously manly boot print.

Levi Reed: It probably ate whatever made the boot print

Rothuss Carder: Maybe it goes to the Chupa Cobbler's?

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lollll

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Vee Barlett: Anyways, we need to clean up.

Vee Barlett: Think that church here will let us?

Inv Zora Polasis: Temperance, did you feel your god's power moving through your arm like lightning? Priest Kelpper used to say that when he described his adventures banishing undead

GM: emptying and refilling as you prepare

Temperance: I... perhaps? I'm not too sure. It was spontaneous and in the heat of the moment, so... I didn't have a lot of time to register.

Inv Zora Polasis: But then your couldn't get through a meal without Priest Kelpper describing some story of his

Vee Barlett: Kelpper? Did he... gather kelp in his previous life?

Levi Reed: Tempe is the only person I've even known who doesn't exxaggerate anything

Temperance: I did feel some tingling, like I usually do when I cast. I'll see if I can remember the sensation a bit better if I try it again.

Inv Zora Polasis: I always wondered what that seaweed connection was

Levi Reed: Big Seaweed

Levi Reed: Gotta watch out for those guys

Vee Barlett: What?

Inv Zora Polasis: He's always stand up in the middle of dinner and point across the room like he was turning the dessert tray. But it was a vivid picture. I wish I could have seen you really do it

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): always pushing seaweed as an ingredient into all the foods...

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): seaweed pills...

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): seaweed extract...

Vee Barlett: Well we keep runnin' into undead so ya might get to see it again, 'specially if Firebeard really is undead.

wyjyoon (Temperance): Lol

GM: Zora getting ready to dual class Thief/Priest

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no more double watches for her!

Inv Zora Polasis: That would be exciting

GM: So landing at the docks and....

Temperance: If the Church is alright with letting us freshen up, then maybe they'll have some material about the undead that I can review.

GM: That is up to the group

GM: how long do you want to take to go visit the Duke

Vee Barlett: Either them or the Bard College but then we gotta pay entrance fee...

Levi Reed: I would LOVE to visit the temple here

Vee Barlett: Let's stop by the church, see if we can clean up since we doin' churchy stuff, then go try to get an audience with the Duke?

GM: Ok

Temperance: Fine by me. I want to see what makes this Church of Mizzen so interesting. Levi seems excited about it.

GM: Shrine and Church here, no Temples

GM: So you go into town and head over to the church

Marianne Proske: Welcome friends,

Rothuss Carder: waves and looks around.

Temperance: Hello.

Temperance: bows her head in greeting.

Vee Barlett: lets the churchy people take lead

Temperance: My name is Temperance. I've heard some of my friends have visited here before?

Levi Reed: Look, Levi's not a church guy, he's not going to get it right

Marianne Proske: I am glad for that

Marianne Proske: Everyone should be welcome

Levi Reed: You got a donation box nearby?

Marianne Proske: Certainly we are happy to take what you feel you can spare

Temperance: We would appreciate if we could stay a bit to freshen ourselves up. We've had... quite a journey.

Levi Reed: hands over a silver

Inv Zora Polasis: And a meeting with the Duke later

Marianne Proske: We are here for everyone, and especially those who serve the church

Levi Reed spent 1 SP on the best church ever

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Marianne Proske: That is very nice, are you meeting with him for good or for a problem?

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): lol

Inv Zora Polasis: Apparently he has a problem and we were sent for

Temperance: It seems that he requires a bit of our assistance.

Rothuss Carder: He has the problem, we're his good. I hope.

Marianne Proske: Then you must be very important people

Marianne Proske: Do you like being important?

Vee Barlett: We like bein' clean.

Inv Zora Polasis: laughs

Marianne Proske: laughs happily

Rothuss Carder: She's not important, she's invisible.

Levi Reed: Nah, we're not important, just helping out the church

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Temperance: chuckles lightly.

Temperance: We simply assist when we can. That is all.

Inv Zora Polasis: What are your thoughts on the Duke? If I may ask

Marianne Proske: There are bowls and basins in the back you can use, and sand to scrub your self clean

Marianne Proske: The Duke is a nice man, he tries to remember that not everyone has the same privledge he does, his son has not quite learned that yet

Levi Reed: I heard his son is kind of a jerk, yeah

Marianne Proske: The youth need to learn

Vee Barlett: How receptive is he to visitors? Can we just... go right up there and tell him we're here to talk to him?

Rothuss Carder: Thanks, I'll go take adavantage of those. I scribbled on myself in my sleep again.

Rothuss Carder: heads to the back.

Marianne Proske: You said he was expecting you, so I would think that he would welcome you

Vee Barlett: Bad habit, but them scribbles look nice!

Vee Barlett: nods

Inv Zora Polasis: You know of our arrival? But of course you do

Vee Barlett: Good. Hope it go smoothly then. I'm gonna go clean up, too, while you all talk churchy stuff.

Inv Zora Polasis: And of the Admiral?

Marianne Proske: I always pray in the morning to ask if there will be anything I should prepare to help people with today

Marianne Proske: and today I felt the need for bathing and flowers

Inv Zora Polasis: smiles

Marianne Proske: So I took a nice scrubbing session on the beach

Marianne Proske: and I have these flowers

Marianne Proske: she hands a bunch to Zora

Inv Zora Polasis: They are beautiful. Thank you

Marianne Proske: What about the Admiral? I have not noticed him around lately but he is a busy person

Levi Reed: goes to wash up with the others

Inv Zora Polasis: I am not sure of all the details, but it is said he has been kidnapped

SHOCKED

Marianne Proske: What?

Marianne Proske: How could that be?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): yeah for a thief she tells everyone everything

chuckles

Temperance: Do you happen to know when you saw the Admiral last, by chance?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): llol

Marianne Proske: I would have to think, but he does not come here very often at all, he has his own priest for his fleet

Temperance: Ah, I see. We would appreciate whatever details we can get.

Inv Zora Polasis: There are rumors but they seem to silly to mention

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): too

Marianne Proske: If you do visit the Duke then ask for Jareth of the Fifth Circle, master of the winds

Marianne Proske: He would be able to tell you about the Admrial

Temperance: Jareth of the Fifth Circle, Master of the Winds. Thank you.

Inv Zora Polasis: nods in thanks as well

Inv Zora Polasis: He would be useful on a ship

Temperance: Do you have any questions Zora? Shall we follow the others as well?

wyjyoon (Temperance): *additional questions

Inv Zora Polasis: I suppose we should get clean before anything else

GM: Temp would know what the 5th circle woudl entail

GM: Keldorian ranks

GM: (LINK)

GM: Also Zora woudl know

wyjyoon (Temperance): Temp would, but Wendy does not, so I'll be looking that up

Inv Zora Polasis: We shall be back soon. Thank you for your kindness Marianne

Marianne Proske: I am glad to help

GM: So taking some time to clean up then start towards the Duke's residence

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): do they come off?

GM: Yes to Roth

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): so no showing up at the Duke's palace with graffiti on

Vee Barlett: Alright that presentable enough, I supposin'

Vee Barlett: Let's get this over with.

Inv Zora Polasis: washes and re-does her hair putting one of the flowers in her hair

Levi Reed: Disappointing Roth. That was a good look on you

GM: The group leaves the church, heads down the street towards the market square.......

Levi Reed: Would've given the Duke a nice first impression

Vee Barlett: An impression of some sort for sure.

Ruffus DeOrange: My lovely violent Vee I am SO glad to see you

Vee Barlett: Fuck.

Ruffus DeOrange: Not here

Ruffus DeOrange: Later perhaps

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): language!

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Vee Barlett: You'd run away again.

Ruffus DeOrange: You will just have to exhaust me next time

Temperance: blinks at this new person.

Ruffus DeOrange: So that I cannot

Vee Barlett: Maybe just be upfront that ya ain't last long in bed next time, yeah?

Ruffus DeOrange: But I am very glad to see you now here with everyone

Vee Barlett: Why's that?

Ruffus DeOrange: I need your help

Inv Zora Polasis: Who is this?

Vee Barlett: Why would I?

Ruffus DeOrange: I need you to prove that I am not the Dread Pirate Firebeard

Rothuss Carder: Is this that guy? The whosit guy?

Vee Barlett: Reason I sharpened my knives.

Lirtimya: Do we really need to help him? or can we become the second, more imminent problem?

Vee Barlett: to Zora

Temperance: You're not the Dread Pirate Firebeard?

Vee Barlett: barks a laugh

Temperance: Why would you need to prove that?

Ruffus DeOrange: No I am not

Ruffus DeOrange: THANK YOU!

Ruffus DeOrange: Someone believes

Vee Barlett: Of course you ain't! You not even good at pretendin' to be a pirate!

Rothuss Carder: checks the ground under his feet.

Rothuss Carder: No glowing green bootprints.

Inv Zora Polasis: looks critically at Ruffus

Ruffus DeOrange: See you have smart people Violent Vee

Vee Barlett: (look to see

Temperance: You just didn't seem like much of a pirate, so...

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 6]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (stupid computer - look to see if he has a beard instead of a goatee)

Vee Barlett: Violet.

Temperance: [SKILL] Bureaucracy (2) [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 2]

GM: No beard, gotee, facial hair, etc.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): he shaved??

GM: Yes that is different

Ruffus DeOrange: Violent Violet

Temperance: So who are you, man who is terrible at being a pirate?

Vee Barlett: You ain't earned callin' me Vee.

Ruffus DeOrange: Should we call you VeeVee for short?

Vee Barlett: Gag.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Levi Reed: rolls eyes

Ruffus DeOrange: No that is later on, again, you need to learn to wait

Ruffus DeOrange: I am Ruffus DeOrange

Vee Barlett: I didn't specify who was bein' gagged.

Vee Barlett: You get shived, not gagged.

Ruffus DeOrange: I am the ... I am My Own Person

Ruffus DeOrange: and I am NOT a dead pirate

Ruffus DeOrange: However

Lirtimya: Pinches the bridge of her nose

Rothuss Carder: sidles up next to Zora.

Vee Barlett: Just a spoiled man who pretends he's a gentleman.

Ruffus DeOrange: Some people have been speculating that

Rothuss Carder -> Inv Zora Polasis: Well, Investigator. What can you tell about him?

Vee Barlett: Why would they?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): brb

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

-> Temperance: Temp knows this is a (rumored) spoiled brat of a child of a nobleman in Osterhold (where your Temple is) who is known for causing problems

Vee Barlett: 'Cause they ain't just think that for now reason. So what reason?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *no

Temperance: looks more and more dead inside as the conversation continues.

Ruffus DeOrange: I was impetuous in my youth

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lmao

Vee Barlett: rolls eyes

Vee Barlett: Shocker

Inv Zora Polasis -> Rothuss Carder: I know I don't like him.

Rothuss Carder: nods.

Ruffus DeOrange: I would like to help you with the Duke

Vee Barlett: Give me a reason. I got a grudge with you.

Ruffus DeOrange: To prove that I am not a dead pirate

Inv Zora Polasis -> Rothuss Carder: If he was impersonating Firebeard I don't think he would be pleading for people to help him prove it

Vee Barlett: You ain't A pirate.

Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly

Ruffus DeOrange: See you understand me

Vee Barlett: And if you gonna die, it gonna be by my hands.

Temperance: Rumors from Osterhold say that you're known to cause a ruckus, and we have enough of those.

Ruffus DeOrange: SO you can help me

Vee Barlett: But you ain't give me a reason yet.

Inv Zora Polasis: Maybe if he was dead we could really tell. Hard to tell with all that talking

Vee Barlett: Rum a good start. An apology. Pearl? Diamonds are great, too.

Ruffus DeOrange: If I travel with you to go find who ever IS the Dead Dread Pirate Firebeard then you will have lots of chances to ....

Vee Barlett: At least that goatee gone.

Vee Barlett: Nah. That what YOU want.

Rothuss Carder: sniffs the air for any scent of brimstone.

Vee Barlett: You gotta earn my bed now.

Ruffus DeOrange: What I want is to not be told that I am a pirate

Ruffus DeOrange: Gladly

Vee Barlett: First round of drinks are on you.

Vee Barlett: And I'm goin' top shelf.

Ruffus DeOrange: If you remember I did give you rum and.....

Vee Barlett: And left me naked and tied to a bed.

Vee Barlett: Ain't a good look.

Ruffus DeOrange: OH I would disagree

Vee Barlett: More serial killer vibes there.

Temperance: continues to look more and more deadpan at the topic of conversation.

Vee Barlett: So why the Duke Son not vouch for you? Ain't ya buddies with him?

GM: See how much you missed Wendy and Lisa

wyjyoon (Temperance): Glad we missed it

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (not a bad thing, lol)

Inv Zora Polasis: How did you even know Violet would be here? Popping out of nowhere at her

Ruffus DeOrange: Ahhh he is .... missing? not here?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): dinner's ready - brb

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Same for me

Vee Barlett: He can't sail worth shit. Probably can't pay someone to sail him outta here after he crashed his way to here.

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

Vee Barlett: pinches bridge of nose

Vee Barlett: Why ain't it ever simple?

Ruffus DeOrange: I have been waiting ever sense I told the Duke to send to the Church of the Orange Sunsets for help, I knew they would go to Vee to get help,

Vee Barlett: Ah fuck you? What?

Inv Zora Polasis: You were the one that sent for us?

Inv Zora Polasis: sighs

Ruffus DeOrange: I did NOT send for you

Ruffus DeOrange: I only told the Duke where to send for help

Vee Barlett: That conniving there. Didn't know you had it in you... wait, no, that's on par.

Ruffus DeOrange: BOWS

Vee Barlett: You don't seem the type to let things go. BUT

Vee Barlett: If we help ya, because it aligns with what we already doin' then you behave or I'm gonna shank ya, got it?

Ruffus DeOrange: Thinks

Temperance: I would encourage you to think faster.

Vee Barlett: And I'm getting top shelf liqour after all this. On you.

Inv Zora Polasis: We're not bringing him to visit the Duke!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol tempe

Ruffus DeOrange: If I come with you to solve it then that makes it easier to solve it and to shank me

Inv Zora Polasis: We aren't are we?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Tempe getting sassy lol

Vee Barlett: This dumbshit has an in with the Duke so not a bad thing for him to come along.

Vee Barlett: Bad for me and my patience, but not for our goal.

Inv Zora Polasis: It would make us seem ... associated with him

Inv Zora Polasis: We already have an invitation to see him

Inv Zora Polasis: the Duke

Ruffus DeOrange: Yes

Ruffus DeOrange: He sent the key right?

Vee Barlett: I can shank ya here or there, ain't no worries there.

Vee Barlett: What key?

Temperance: raises an eyebrow.

Inv Zora Polasis: there is no key for you

Vee Barlett: playing dumb

Ruffus DeOrange: I told him that he needed to prove it was an official request so he should send his Ducal Key

Vee Barlett: Why he listen to you?

Vee Barlett: And ya still ain't told me why you a suspect.

Ruffus DeOrange: Because I brought his son back from the permaids

Ruffus DeOrange: Mermaids

Vee Barlett: tries to keep her obsession from latching on to that

wyjyoon (Temperance): The permaids - mermaids with a nice perm

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lmao

seyfert (Vee Barlett): but you can't get it wet!

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

GM: LOL

wyjyoon (Temperance): They use sorcery to keep it curled : P

Vee Barlett: So why can't he prove you ain't Firebeard?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): or a good lawyer

GM: what movie is that?

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): legally blonde

Ruffus DeOrange: It is hard to prove you are NOT someone

wyjyoon (Temperance): It's the movie about the girl who goes to Harvard law right?

Ruffus DeOrange: until you bring in that person

GM: Like it is difficult?

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol I remember that scene

wyjyoon (Temperance): I saw clips of it but not the full movie

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I don't watch many movies, but i love that one

Vee Barlett: Firebeard dead.

GM: Ask lisa the chances that I have actually seen that movie......

Ruffus DeOrange: I am hopeful that he is

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): 5-10%

Ruffus DeOrange: BUT

Vee Barlett: isn't sure she is

GM: lower

Vee Barlett: But?

Ruffus DeOrange: Someone is out there doing things

Ruffus DeOrange: and the Admiral is missing

Ruffus DeOrange: Leans in....

Vee Barlett: grips her dagger handle

Ruffus DeOrange: Could it be him?

Ruffus DeOrange: Or?

Inv Zora Polasis: Someone who is not dead. Like you are not dead

Ruffus DeOrange: I need you to help on this

Vee Barlett: Not dead. Yet.

Ruffus DeOrange: Exactly, I am not dead

Vee Barlett: Yet.

Temperance: presses her lips together and gauges the situation quietly.

Vee Barlett: Fine. I set my terms. You agree to them. We set off, capisce?

Ruffus DeOrange: So what do you say, will you help me catch an not dead dread dead pirate?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): they speak Italian here? :)

Vee Barlett: No. I'll find out about this supposed pirate and you can tag along.

Ruffus DeOrange: That sounds fun

Rothuss Carder: Yep, sure does!

Inv Zora Polasis: sighs

Vee Barlett: And we can decide later if we catch 'em or kill 'em or what.

Temperance: exhales softly as well.

Ruffus DeOrange: We just need to bring back proof that I am not dead

Rothuss Carder: has a gleeful twinkle in his eye.

Vee Barlett: Don't do anything to make ya dead then.

Temperance: Just waltz around screaming, I'm sure people will know.

Ruffus DeOrange: You would be surprised how ineffective that has been

Inv Zora Polasis: This is not about you. It's about the kindapped Admiral

Temperance: My, what a shame.

Vee Barlett: I can stab ya now if it helps prove it to others.

Vee Barlett: Let's go.

Lirtimya: You're fueling it by denying it so hard

Rothuss Carder: Pretty sure the dead have no rhythym. You could try dancing. Maybe Vee will be your partner?

Inv Zora Polasis: shakes her head grumbling to herself "this is a mistake."

Vee Barlett: Glad I got a second dagger. One to stab each of ya...

Vee Barlett: mutters

Lirtimya: There's nothing more suspicious than denying too much

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): guilty feet have got no rhythm

Temperance: shakes her head at the new turn of events, but endeavors to keep herself civil.

GM: I'm never gonna dance again

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): no movie knowledge, but he knows song lyrics

GM: See

seyfert (Vee Barlett): right??

GM: And So

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): of course, he and I are of an age, and everyone in that era knew that song...

GM: any last minute adjustments with this new twist before your meeting with the Duke

wyjyoon (Temperance): Vee sharpening her knife?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lure him down a side alley, stab him, leave him for dead then visit the duke?

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): plot payback?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): I agree lol

GM: Here is your Dead Dread Pirate, story arc over

seyfert (Vee Barlett): well that IS tempting....

seyfert (Vee Barlett): less finding and more framing

GM: last glass then the meeting with the duke brb

wyjyoon (Temperance): snack break brb

Vee Barlett: takes a deep breath and tries to center herself and stuff away the rage before the meeting

GM: warm smile

GM: back

GM: and ready for your meeting if you are

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm not opposed to framing him lol

GM: OR you can have a quick conference about what to do with this now

seyfert (Vee Barlett): if someoen wants to pull Vee aside sure

seyfert (Vee Barlett): otherwise onward we go

wyjyoon (Temperance): We're just gonna show the box and ask them to let us in?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Right?

Inv Zora Polasis: yanks Vee back for a minute

seyfert (Vee Barlett): not necessarily, we ask to see then can show box if we need

Inv Zora Polasis: What are you doing? He's not trustworthy

Vee Barlett: Ack! What?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh ok

Vee Barlett: I'm aware.

Inv Zora Polasis: Then why?

Inv Zora Polasis: Ohhhh you like him, don't you?

Vee Barlett: He shady as shit but he does keep his deals.

Inv Zora Polasis: All that complaining. You just want him back

Vee Barlett: Don't make me shank you, too. I only got two daggers and they got names on them. I'd have to go with a stone knife and that won't be pretty.

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

Vee Barlett: But he got connections, money, and knowledge. He gonna be an easy one to get to talk and do what we want.

Inv Zora Polasis: For telling the truth? What do we need him for?

Vee Barlett: If nothin' else, we can rob him later.

Inv Zora Polasis: Do you really go around robbing people?

Vee Barlett: shrugs

Vee Barlett: As Dad says, light fingers make light work. And somethin' else.

Inv Zora Polasis: You're not goingf to rob him and I'll bet you a gold piece you're back in bed with him before this is all over.

Inv Zora Polasis: But you're in charge Violet so off we go

Vee Barlett: Maybe I gotta try that oyster picker on you...

Inv Zora Polasis: sighs

Temperance: You both alright back there?

Inv Zora Polasis: YOu won't do that either

Vee Barlett: Look, I say we see what we get out of hima nd if he useless we drop him later.

Inv Zora Polasis: We're coming!

Levi Reed: Hurry up! I bet this Duke's got a good spread he's going to feel obligated to serve us

Vee Barlett: Just discussin' violence. It's fine.

Inv Zora Polasis: laughs

Temperance: nods in understanding.

Rothuss Carder: No hurries, ladies. You just stay back there and gossip all you want.

Temperance: I'm not surprised.

Lirtimya: If it's violence against him, don't leave me out next time

Rothuss Carder: We'll be up here discussing manly things, like betting, and beer.

Vee Barlett: Hmm... okay how about if he don't live up to his end of the deal, I'll let you shank him? That make ya feel better, sis?

Inv Zora Polasis: laughs

Temperance: takes out her notebook to keep record.

Inv Zora Polasis: Gladly

Vee Barlett: Good. Glad ya actually just lookin' out for me and ain't questionin' my fake crushes.

Vee Barlett: 'Cause Thurmund has a better chance at that.

Osip Shukov: Welcome to Mizzen Manor

Osip Shukov: How can I help you?

Vee Barlett: returns to group

Vee Barlett: We here to see the Duke. Temple of Orange Sunsets sent us.

Osip Shukov: That is very nice

Vee Barlett: Sure.

Ruffus DeOrange: Hello Shukov,

Inv Zora Polasis: to Temperance, Maybe show the key

Osip Shukov: OH hellow

Temperance: is waiting on it until she needs to.

Rothuss Carder: He's here to prove he's not the Dread Pirate Firebeard.

Ruffus DeOrange: Now don't give me that, you can see I am here with friends

Vee Barlett: We can leave him behind if it helps our cause.

Osip Shukov: Friends? or FREEEENDS?

Temperance: furrows her brows.

Ruffus DeOrange: You wound me

Rothuss Carder: Only 2 e's

Temperance: What's the difference?

Temperance: They're both the same words.

Ruffus DeOrange: These are actually people who know me and have traveled with me before

Inv Zora Polasis: I ...

Ruffus DeOrange: They have, well some of them, have spent time with me

Inv Zora Polasis: stops hrself

Temperance: pats Zora on the shoulder in understanding.

Osip Shukov: As long as you are paying for the rounds I am certain Sir

Levi Reed: Um

Lirtimya: Fidgeting with one of her bags with spell items in it

Levi Reed: You're putting it generously

Vee Barlett: We ain't his normal ruckus.

Ruffus DeOrange: Sadly I cannot help that my friends like to drink

Rothuss Carder: So, I think we have some sort of certificate of authenticity or something, to say who we are?

Levi Reed: That part at least is true

Inv Zora Polasis: Yes!

Ruffus DeOrange: OH we do not need that

Rothuss Carder: Oh, not including him, of course.

Vee Barlett: Well yer presecense don't seem to be helpin' so maybe we do.

Temperance: keeps one hand on the box with the key in her pouch, waiting to see if they need it.

Ruffus DeOrange: We just need a quick moment to show our bonifieds

Vee Barlett: More like a barnacle on a ship...

Rothuss Carder: We like to call him "Local Color". Because his name's Orange, y'see?

Osip Shukov: You want to vouch for these people I am not going to stop you,

Osip Shukov: Just remember I removed the bushes from the east side windows,

Rothuss Carder: sidles up to Osip.

Vee Barlett: Why that matter?

Rothuss Carder: quietly out the side of his mouth asks, "Umm.. would it help or hurt if he vouches for us?"

Temperance: raises an eyebrow.

Ruffus DeOrange: The easiest exit not out the front doors is to the east

Vee Barlett: Already startin' to regret you bein' here....

Vee Barlett: Ugh, we just need to see the Duke.

Temperance: mumbles to herself, "at least we know which windows to throw him out of"

Osip Shukov: I have no opinion on this

Osip Shukov: Very well, I cannot stop him or his guests

Rothuss Carder: steps back. "Understood"

Osip Shukov: Welcome

Vee Barlett: Thanks, I supposin'

Ruffus DeOrange: Thank you so much Shukov

Ruffus DeOrange: I will be sure to remember this at some point

Vee Barlett: Empty words ain't flatterin' so better fill those up.

Inv Zora Polasis: shakes her head again

GM: And you are lead into the palace through the waiting halls

Temperance: lifts her hand out of her pouch with a soft sigh.

Rothuss Carder: slips Shukov a gold piece.

GM: and when the guards see you they halt you then they see Ruffus and go send for more help

Rothuss Carder spent 1 GP on

Osip Shukov: Thank you sir, (to Roth)

Vee Barlett: pinches bridge of nose again

Rothuss Carder: For all you do and put up with around here.

Vee Barlett: Gonna owe Zora a drink at this rate...

Inv Zora Polasis: mumbles, "mistake, mistake"

GM: Eventually after a bit of time you are in the official hall, with the Duke and his wife

Constance Bluebleeder: Hello Ruffus

Levi Reed: Well this is turning out to be an adventure already

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (sorry was looking up his name)

Constance Bluebleeder: What have you brought us today?

Vee Barlett: Vee from the Temple of Orange Sunsets, sir. You sent for us?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): Duke Lewriff of Plithoth?

Ruffus DeOrange: BOWS

Vee Barlett: nods to Tempe to show the key

Vee Barlett: and clumsly follows the bow

Duke of Mizzen: Are you actually from there?

Vee Barlett: tries to hide her discomfort

Temperance: takes out the box with the key in it.

Temperance: Were you the one that sent this item?

Duke of Mizzen: Waves away the formality from the group

Vee Barlett: nods to Zora

Vee Barlett: And aletter to the Cathedral.

Duke of Mizzen: Bring that here

Temperance: approaches the duke and hands him the box.

Vee Barlett: shifts from a bow to crossing her arms

Rothuss Carder: gives the Duke and his wife a good looking-at.

Duke of Mizzen: Opens it and holds up the key

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 17]

Levi Reed: Also if you want to kick the riffraff out before we start talking, we're fine with that.

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 15]

Levi Reed: glances at Ruffus

Temperance: [SKILL] Bureaucracy (2) [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 1] [d20 = 14]

Duke of Mizzen: He takes the key out of the box and expertly disasembles it into the five parts

Lirtimya: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 20]

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Alertness [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 5]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): damn lol

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 4]

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Might as well check out the art in the room

Temperance: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Statecraft [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 5] [d20 = 18]

Inv Zora Polasis: [SKILL] Statecraft [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 3] [d20 = 10]

Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]

Duke of Mizzen: Pulling out the final small piece he pulls a small piece of paper out of a hollow spot

JtomTMO (Lirtimya): Lirt is too busy hating Ruffus to see anything lol

Duke of Mizzen: He looks up at you

Temperance: watches what she hopes is every detail.

Inv Zora Polasis: is annoyed she did not find the paper herself

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Duke of Mizzen: Apparently you did not try to steal or sell this as an artifact

Vee Barlett: Nah, we smarter than that.

Rothuss Carder: *are*. We *are* smarter than that.

Vee Barlett: Not you.

Vee Barlett: to Rothuss

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Levi Reed: Some of us

Temperance: And a bit more lawful, I sincerely hope.

Rothuss Carder: Sorry, Duke, we're still trying to housebreak her.

Duke of Mizzen: Yes this paper is enspelled to burn if it has been attempted to be sold or bartered

Levi Reed: ... again, some of us

Temperance: I see.

Duke of Mizzen: At least one of you

Vee Barlett: bites her tongue from a retort given the company

Duke of Mizzen: and I know it was not Ruffus

Vee Barlett: We in agreement there.

Ruffus DeOrange: Sir I woudl never sell something of yours

Ruffus DeOrange: If I knew if was yours

Levi Reed: What would we have gained from selling or bartering it? Seems like you can offer us anything better than an illicit trader

Constance Bluebleeder: Ruffus, you would not know and not care until you needed it the next day

Temperance: raises an eyebrow at this Ruffus with a look that reads 'why am I not surprised?'

Duke of Mizzen: It means that Ruffus was actually right for once

Levi Reed: You can just ignore him, he's not like, "with us" we just ran into him

Vee Barlett: Even a broken sundial is.

Duke of Mizzen: When he said if I sent this to the Church of Orange Sunsets that it would bring their best investigators

Vee Barlett: You got a pirate back from the dead and a kidnappin' we hear?

Rothuss Carder: nudges Zora with an elbow.

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

Inv Zora Polasis: smiles

Temperance: makes room for Zora to step up a bit.

Duke of Mizzen: We have a magician trying to pretend to be a pirate

Duke of Mizzen: It cannot actually be Firebead, he has been dead

Temperance: A magician, you say?

Duke of Mizzen: and Pirates do not come back from being dead

Vee Barlett: We run into undead so ain't gonna say never say never.

Duke of Mizzen: That is what I need you to do

Vee Barlett: How'd Firebeard die?

Rothuss Carder: glances over at Temperance, wondering if we should mention the formerly-dead crocodiles we just met that morning.

Temperance: nods in return, signalling to go for it.

Duke of Mizzen: To prove that this young scoundrel is or is not the one who is the Dread Pirate Firebeard, who kidnapped my Admiral

Vee Barlett: And if he is?

Ruffus DeOrange: I am not dead

Rothuss Carder: Has anyone actually reported seeing Firebeard, or just the clues left behind?

Constance Bluebleeder: You could be

Vee Barlett: Yer gonna have to get in line for that.

Temperance: coughs to cover a laugh.

Temperance: Excuse me. Must be the Ruffus allergies.

Duke of Mizzen: There have been green fire footprints left in Red Hook

Ruffus DeOrange: I have not been in Red Hook in months,

Inv Zora Polasis: Can you give us any details you have on how the Admiral was kidnapped? When it happened and from where?

Vee Barlett: Surprised ya weren't shanked there.

A short time ago, the Lord Admiral of Ranste suddenly disappeared. Now the streets of this thriving trade port are filled with bare footprints that dance with ghostly green flames, the signature of the long-dead pirate Firebeard. Has the dreaded buccaneer come back from the grave to haunt the city that hounded him to his grave? The Ranste Council fears the worst, and has hired a band of adventurers to determine the truth behind the unsettling happenings.

Temperance: takes out her notebook to record the details.

GM: Doh sorry that is the Duke of Mizzan not the "ranste council"

GM: wrong copy and paste

Vee Barlett: How'd Firebeard die initially?

Inv Zora Polasis: So he disappeared and no one knows if it was from his home or his ship? And it was here in Mizzen?

Duke of Mizzen: The Isle of Jilanth is part of the Siren Call group

Duke of Mizzen: We have patrolled the passage to prevent the unlawful behavior there from spreading here

Ruffus DeOrange: Looks guilty

Duke of Mizzen: I need you to go find Admiral Josin and bring him home, or tell me what happened to him

Duke of Mizzen: Because I do not believe that a dead priate kidnapped my Admrial

Vee Barlett: Any other clues or useful information? We got questions waitin' for answers.

Inv Zora Polasis: So the last he was seen was patroling the Jilanth passage?

Duke of Mizzen: I have questions waiting for a headsman's axe

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): huh?

Rothuss Carder: takes a half step away from Ruffus.

Duke of Mizzen: Yes to Zora, he was there and then his ship disapeared, and no one would venture into the jungles to find him

Inv Zora Polasis: His whole ship disappeared as well?

Vee Barlett: frowns and lets Zora take over

Ruffus DeOrange: Sir I promise to go help these experts to prove I did not have anything to do with this and we will bring the Admiral home again

Duke of Mizzen: Three ships disapeared

Duke of Mizzen: His and two others

Temperance: raises another eyebrow while continuing to record.

Temperance: Three ships?

Vee Barlett: You expectin' us to head towards Siren's Call? We need a better ship if that happens.

Inv Zora Polasis: And the flame of Firebeard have been seen at Red Hook only or at Jilanth as well?

Duke of Mizzen: I was told that the finest investigators would arrive and solve my problems

Temperance: Was the Priest Jareth of the Fifth Circle, Master of the Winds accompanying him by chance? We were told that he may have a bit more information.

Duke of Mizzen: I have not ventured, nor have I asked my people to go to Jilanth after this incident last week

Duke of Mizzen: Jareth is here

Inv Zora Polasis: We shall. We need as much information you know as posssible so we may make quicker work of the investigation

Inv Zora Polasis: If it pleases you

Inv Zora Polasis: Ohh we would very much like to speak with Jareth as well

Duke of Mizzen: So would I

Duke of Mizzen: but he has been silent

Temperance: furrows her brows.

Duke of Mizzen: from what ever he saw when the Admiral disapeared

Duke of Mizzen: The church here has said he needs rest

Duke of Mizzen: He needs quiet

Duke of Mizzen: I say I need answers

Temperance: The Church of Mizzen is the one that recommended we speak to him.

Rothuss Carder: Is he responsive at all? Unconscious, or just non-talkative?

Duke of Mizzen: He seems to be knowledgeable of where he is but he does not respond to anyone

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): have a mind meld spell?

Duke of Mizzen: He eats if he is given food and prompted

Duke of Mizzen: but he does nothing else

Vee Barlett: IF ya don't think it'll hurt, we'd like to try talkin' to him.

Rothuss Carder: thinks

Temperance: Hm... an interesting case. I do agree we should at least try...

Inv Zora Polasis: Any known mages missing in the area?

Duke of Mizzen: Not that I have been told of

Rothuss Carder: moves over to Ruffus' side.

Inv Zora Polasis: It would seem it would be a powerful magic user to be able to accomplish what has transpired

Rothuss Carder: test

-> Rothuss Carder: yes

Temperance: nods in agreement with Zora.

Temperance: Perhaps this Priest Jareth has been put under a spell of his own...

seyfert (Vee Barlett): shoot my package WAS delivered and it's raining and I was told not to let it get wet.... I'll be back again in 10

[ERROR] Unknown special message type received. (setafk)

Duke of Mizzen: We have no powerful mages here on Mizzen

Rothuss Carder: Ruffus, just to put it out there, if you absolutely want to prove your innocence, just have them put you under house arrest for a couple of weeks. Firebeard does his thing while you're here, and you're clear.

Inv Zora Polasis: Good point Temperance

-> Rothuss Carder: Do you want me to go with you to help? or do you want me to stay here while you prove I am innocent?

Duke of Mizzen: If you would like to visit with him I have no objections

Inv Zora Polasis: How long has Firebeard been dead if you know? Is he legend or a recent pirate of note?

Duke of Mizzen: Just be quick, it has been more than a week

Duke of Mizzen: Firebeard died over a decade ago

Rothuss Carder: That's why I'm not telling everyone this, just you. Depends on what you want, man. I think I'd rather have you along, but thought you'd want to know the option.

Temperance: A decade...? A long time to be showing signs now...

-> Rothuss Carder: I want to go and prove, I am a man of action

Rothuss Carder: nods to Ruffus and steps back to his place, still thinking.

Duke of Mizzen: That is why I do not believe he is back from the dead

Duke of Mizzen: this much be a copycat

Duke of Mizzen: Or a pretender

Duke of Mizzen: or

Inv Zora Polasis: But easier to frighten with magic and signs

Levi Reed: Sometimes people lay low for a while. Or try to go straight and then get drawn back in

Duke of Mizzen: With magic I am not certain

Inv Zora Polasis: I agree

Temperance: nods in understanding.

Rothuss Carder: How long have the footprints stayed around?

Rothuss Carder: And have they ben seen by someone reliable, or just rumors?

Duke of Mizzen: The best way I know it to go to Jilanth and investigate

Duke of Mizzen: At least two of the encounters with them I believe, the others could be panic

Rothuss Carder: A good start. Chasing rumors is a pain.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): vee wanted to ask for a ship to borrow instead of our boat?

Constance Bluebleeder: groans

Constance Bluebleeder: Are you trying to tell me that Rothuss was right to call you here?

Rothuss Carder: holds his hand up.

Rothuss Carder: Ruffus. I'm Rothuss. Pleasure to meet you, ma'am.

GM: She asked that earlier and it seemed they thought you were coming with everything you need

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): ok just checking before we left for Jareth or anything like that - boat it is unless Ruffus has a ship .... Gods I hope not

Rothuss Carder: That's already happened a couple of times, believe it or not. I'm thinking I may have to change my name.

GM: and also Jilanth is not far, the other side of Mizzen and then... 8? 9? miles west

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): we don't want to owe him - zora doesn't anyway

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes, Vee did ask about the ship. But if it's not far...

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): yes that is good news

Constance Bluebleeder: It would be a bit distressing to have to deal with all of his..... attachments

Rothuss Carder: Yes ma'am. I have to deal with one of his... attachments... every day. I understand completely.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): he has more than one?

Temperance: We simply wished to make certain we had all the details in line without room for miscommunication. Sometimes pieces of information get mixed around and lead us astray. We simply wish to be thorough, as this is a pressing case.

Constance Bluebleeder: I am glad for that Pristess Temperance

Constance Bluebleeder: We need calm level headed people to handle this

Duke of Mizzen: We need people who can solve this

Duke of Mizzen: I do not care how

Duke of Mizzen: Just bring him back and make things right

Rothuss Carder: Sounds fun.

Temperance: smiles gently.

The time is 12:30 PM

Temperance: I understand your distress. We will make certain to speak with Jareth and see what more can give us a clearer picture. Thank you, for all your information and assistance.

The date is Pen____de, 6th Sin (Late Summer), 587 SGR

Young Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

Old Moon's phase is Waning Gibbous

Duke of Mizzen: I hope you will solve this in the next two days

Levi Reed: Do we have to take Ruffus with us?

Duke of Mizzen: Why would I care?

Levi Reed: Fantastic

Levi Reed: Thank you sir

Constance Bluebleeder: Dear, he can go where he wants

Ruffus DeOrange: I will go to clear my name

Temperance: focuses on the 'next two days'

Levi Reed: What happens if it takes three days?

Ruffus DeOrange: Nothing

Duke of Mizzen: We have a meeting with the other local islands other than Borinquen to discuss trade

Duke of Mizzen: So we can present a united front

Levi Reed: Hmmm. You got any homing pigeons or anything you can give us, so we can send a message when we get it sorted? That way you could get the news before we make the trek back

Duke of Mizzen: You have priests, I know they can communicate with each other

Rothuss Carder: looks over at Temperance.

Inv Zora Polasis: nods

Levi Reed: I mean... sure, we can all communicate

wyjyoon (Temperance): I suppose Tempe can but Wendy did not know that.

Levi Reed: But not instantly?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): divination spells?

Levi Reed: Unless there's something I don't know about preists?

Duke of Mizzen: Are you capable of doing this?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Oh I thought maybe it was mind read

Levi Reed: turns to look at Tempe

Duke of Mizzen: OR do I need to send to the Cathedral at Osterhold

Inv Zora Polasis: Not all priests focus on divination but we can speak with the church here if we need assistance

Inv Zora Polasis: Not to worry

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (Ok back sorry but glad I went. I know it's dark and rainy, but seriously?? Amazon looked at the garage with some overhang, and the tree, and said NOPE toss it by the front door and let it rainnnnn!! Water literally fell out of the envelopes as I picked them up, but nothing ruined thankfully)

GM: very glad for that

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): glad it was okay!

wyjyoon (Temperance): glad nothing was damaged!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): (the surprise housewarming gift I was told not to get wet was a cute cat painting and it is thankfully not ruined)

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): you have divination sphere wendy?

GM: and the meeting is over? any last words?

GM: That is very nice

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): a noble named Bluebleeder??/ REALLY?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Yes

wyjyoon (Temperance): about the divination sphere

GM: grins, thank you TMO

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): so you can check to see about messaging later

GM: So you are dimissed then

wyjyoon (Temperance): sounds good

GM: You can gather up what ever you think you need and then set sail for Jilanth

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I want to restock my arrows

seyfert (Vee Barlett): why not red hook first?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): jareth - can check for detect charm? maybe dispel magic if you have that?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I thought we were still speaking to the Jareth guy?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): jareth before we leave?

wyjyoon (Temperance): I have detect charm

seyfert (Vee Barlett): if Jilanth is in Siren's Call, we might want more wax

GM: Are you taking Ruffus with you? and yes you can go to Red Hook on the way,

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): The goblin king?

GM: You can do that also

Inv Zora Polasis: we have 2 days - did you see that?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): Jareth, Red Hook, then Jilanth

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): agreed

seyfert (Vee Barlett): always these stupid timelines

GM: the only thing that is finished is the meeting with the Duke he seems to think you are set to go and sends you off

Vee Barlett: and to answer Bob's question...

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): Temperance and Zora might have best chance at breaking through to Jareth, and if not Rothuss might be able to sneak in using music or comedy or something

wyjyoon (Temperance): we explicitly got permission from the duke to speak with Priest Jareth though? We thought he was there?

MadamePsychosis: the foot prints were on redhook admiral was gone missing patrolling the passage by Jilanth

Vee Barlett: So what can ya actually contribute, Ruffus? Or ya just gonna be dead weight and we best leave you here?

GM: Giving you a framework but letting you decide how to do things

seyfert (Vee Barlett): yes don't let Vee manhandle the poor priest, lol

Ruffus DeOrange: You know I have skills

MadamePsychosis: thought Jareth was on Mizzen

seyfert (Vee Barlett): I assume he's in the palane and we're being led to him

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *palace whatever

wyjyoon (Temperance): That's what I assumed too?

Vee Barlett: No. I don't. I ain't seen you in combat or do anything except throw money at things you want.

Ruffus DeOrange: Those count at skills I do believe

Vee Barlett: Even yer thievery left a trailmiles long over water. Soppy.

Ruffus DeOrange: Among other things you have seen

Levi Reed: You saying he wasn't skilled in bed, Violet?

Vee Barlett: I'm sayin' that if we end up on Siren's Call, how good or bad you are in bed only matters to the sirens. If they don't just drown ya.

Ruffus DeOrange: I have you to distract me

Levi Reed: Maybe we should take him for bait

Vee Barlett: No. Charm is useless her. Can. You. Fight.

Rothuss Carder: You are a braver man than I, Ruffus.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *here

Ruffus DeOrange: Of course I can

Levi Reed: Or a sacrifice, if the sirens come looking for something

Vee Barlett: Can you fight. Can you sail. Can you do ANYTHING except yap yer mouth?

Ruffus DeOrange: I have won many duels

Vee Barlett: With what?

Ruffus DeOrange: I can sail better than you can

Ruffus DeOrange: You do remember that I beat you here

Levi Reed: Bold words from someone who crashed here and hasn't been able to find a way off

Vee Barlett: By shovin' gold up the captain's ass. That ain't sailin' and ya last half yer crew AND yer ship. And ya didn't go down with it.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): *lost

Ruffus DeOrange: I was here first that is what actually matters

Vee Barlett: I need to know you won't be a liability.

Rothuss Carder: checks the sun to see what time it is.

Temperance: And you wonder why people are convinced that you're a dead pirate even if you're alive....

Ruffus DeOrange: EXACTLY

Ruffus DeOrange: I do lots of very ALIVE things

Temperance: Maybe they just believe you're best dead.

Ruffus DeOrange: You wound me Fair Temperace

Vee Barlett: You could get away with lots if you were invisible. Zora could vouch for that.

Rothuss Carder: takes Temperance's elbow and gently disengages her from the conversation.

Rothuss Carder: So, how do you think we should approach Jareth?

Vee Barlett: Fine. We get supplies. You buyin' what we need. And you somehow convince me you won't be a liability.

Ruffus DeOrange: Are you asking me?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): that was to Temperance

Ruffus DeOrange: I cna get supplies

Vee Barlett: Good. Prove yer worth.

Ruffus DeOrange: What is the name of the ship you came on

Temperance: I'm... trying to figure that out. I do have a detect charm spell and undetectable charm, along with several mind spells I could try, but...

Temperance: We will have to see.

Vee Barlett: We'll start with baby steps.

Vee Barlett: Jean.

Ruffus DeOrange: Very well

Ruffus DeOrange: I will go get provisions and meet you there in one hour

RUns off

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): dispel magic?

wyjyoon (Temperance): No to dispel magic

Vee Barlett: He gets dibs at next undead crocodile.

Levi Reed: Get arrows!

Rothuss Carder: nods. "Sounds good. Zora might be able to help with the words. I might be able to use music, if he don't do words."

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): love asking other people that

Levi Reed: And wax!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Can I fill my arrows back up before I forget?

Temperance: Thank you for disengaging me from the conversation. He was starting to grate my patience.

Temperance: shakes her head with a deadpan look on her face.

GM: Yes to Lemon

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I saw. Never seen you get that heated before.

Vee Barlett: He's an idiot. Let's see what ya can do about that priest, tho.

Vee Barlett: We ain't got long if we on a deadline.

Temperance: Yes, let's focus on that.

Levi Reed: Yeah, that was a lot of emotion from you Tempe

Levi Reed: You ok?

Rothuss Carder: hooks Tempe's hand into his elbow and pats the back of her hand.

Rothuss Carder: C'mon, let's go plumb the depths of Jareth's mute mind.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): nicely stated

Temperance: I'm alright. He simply does not have a good reputation, and is displaying that in greater capacity than I assumed he would.

GM: an aide leads you around to the back portion of the palace where there is a garden and an older man is sitting there in a wheeled chair, watching the flowers

Levi Reed: Ahhh, yeah. The guy's a true scumbag

Temperance: watches for a bit before approaching cautiously.

Temperance: Priest Jareth of the Fifth Circle?

Vee Barlett: stands back and watches

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: sighs

Rothuss Carder: squats down nearby off to one side and just watches Jareth closely for any body language cues.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): read it as "fried of the shrimp" and now wish to suggest that title

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol

Rothuss Carder: now I'm hungry again

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): now I'm hungry again

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Dragons

Temperance: Hello, I'm Priestess Temperance from the Cathedral of Osterhold.

Temperance: Dragons...?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: black wing

Temperance: Black winged dragons?

Rothuss Carder: checking to see if he's heard of any dragons named Black Wing

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: silver tipped

Rothuss Carder: [TOWER] [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 9] [d20 = 7]

Temperance: Silver-tipped black-winged dragons?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Lost tails

-> Rothuss Carder: Nothing that he has heard of

Temperance: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [FAILURE by 7] [d20 = 20]

GM: Levi can make a check

Temperance: is very confused by this dragon talk lol

GM: Vee can make a check at a minus 4

Temperance: Silver-tipped black-winged dragons with lost tails?

Vee Barlett: [CHECK] Intelligence [-4] (vs. Target 12) [FAILURE by 10] [d20+4 = 22]

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Sage Knowledge, Island Kingdoms [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 10) [FAILURE by 3] [d20 = 13]

Temperance: writes down the words in order just in case.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): wow

GM: and for animals Levi

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm speechless

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): levi be the smart one

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): for animals?

wyjyoon (Temperance): Go Levi present your intelligence on dragons

GM: Levi sells balloons in town

Rothuss Carder: I'm almost wondering if it's butterflies.

Temperance: Butterflies?

Rothuss Carder: which is stupid

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): what does "an for animals Levi" mean?

GM: what other skills do you have as a Ranger

Inv Zora Polasis: Butterflies don't have tails

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): A bunch that maybe never got put on my sheet?

Temperance: [CHECK] Wisdom (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 2] [d20 = 14]

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, maybe types of butterflies. Why would that matter to an Admiral on a boat?

Rothuss Carder: Ignore me, I went random for a minute.

seyfert (Vee Barlett): under abilities

GM: Abilities and Skills, NWP etc

GM: what do you think might work with animals?

Vee Barlett: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 4] [d20 = 11]

Temperance: [SKILL] Observation [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 11] [d20 = 2]

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Ok, working on it, BUT I just discovered that I have marksmanship and should get a +1 to everything with my favorite missile weapon???

GM: Do you have one?

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): lol

Levi Reed: Well the shortbow, obviously

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooc

GM: We can check that you are getting that bonus

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Ranger Tracking [2] [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 15) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 7]

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): But other than that, idk. Was I supposed to get some kind of animal thing that I forgot about? Or am I making that up?

Rothuss Carder: [CHECK] Intelligence (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Animal Rending [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 16) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 20]

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Local History [MOD:CHA] (vs. Target 16) [SUCCESS by 6] [d20 = 10]

seyfert (Vee Barlett): no only empathy unless you ook lore or something similar

Temperance: [SKILL] Reading-Writing [MOD:INT] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 1]

GM: So between Levi and Vee you can tell that almost everything he is talking about is types of birds/gulls, except for the word dragon

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): probably all of no use, but throw enough dice at the wall, maybe one will find a target

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol I'm just rolling what I can to see what helps : )

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ... I had to roll to figure that out?

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Botany [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 10] [d20 = 3]

Inv Zora Polasis: Perhaps try to direct his focus to the admiral?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Oooh, I want to roll artistic ability to see if I can think of something that matches the things he's describing?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Can I do that?

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [SUCCESS by 12] [d20 = 2]

Temperance: These black-winged dragons you were describing... did you see them out at sea? With the Admiral?

Temperance: gently attempts to steer the conversation in that direction.

Levi Reed: We're here to help, Jareth

GM: As best as Lvei can tell Jareth is describing things he saw, but they are jumbled up in his memory

Levi Reed: Can dragons pretend to be dead pirates?

Rothuss Carder: pulls his lute around and starts strumming a quiet, steady tune, just to see if it catches Jareth's interest or anything.

Rothuss Carder: [SKILL] Musical Instrument [MOD:DEX] (vs. Target 13) [SUCCESS by 8] [d20 = 5]

GM: For Temperance as she described the images back to him, he smiles as Black Winged, then cringes at Dragon, then smiles again after that passes

GM: The lute music does not seem to affect him

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): you never know. It works with drunks sometimes, when words don't.

Vee Barlett: Can ya try drawin' a picture Levi?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Who's controlling her face?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): works on many dementia patients, too, if it's a familiar song

Levi Reed: Anybody got something to draw on?

Rothuss Carder: My face, apparently

Temperance: hands him a notebook and quill.

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): rothuss' face?

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Levi Reed: attempts to draw the dragon thingy as described by Jareth

Master TMO (Rothuss Carder): jinx!

Levi Reed: [SKILL] Artistic Ability [MOD:WIS] (vs. Target 14) [FAILURE by 4] [d20 = 18]

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Alas

wyjyoon (Temperance): Indeed

Levi Reed: Did it look like this?

Levi Reed: holds picture up so Jareth can see

GM: Levi can draw the head of a gull, he adds a body and dragon wings but then Jareth gets confused

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): LOL

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lol

Temperance: digs in her pouch and hands the Priest Jareth a spare quill to see if he would like to write or draw.

Levi Reed: You think somebody cursed him?

GM: He stroke the quill gently

Vee Barlett: Hey, Jareth? What's yer favorite color?

GM: soft quiet happy

Inv Zora Polasis: It might be the case

Rothuss Carder: Definitely a bird fancier

Temperance: If you have a hard time describing things verbally, it always helps to write. I can try to help with your problem, but I would need your consent to cast some spells to help with it.

Vee Barlett: Oh, that's a good one. What's yer favorite bird, Jareth?

Inv Zora Polasis: But I would advise telling him before casting anything on him. It's only polite

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Black Winged Gulls are very persistent in finding food especially along the water front

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): sorry was typing when you said that wendy

Vee Barlett: Yar, they are. And what's yer favorite island?

wyjyoon (Temperance): It's a good sign!

seyfert (Vee Barlett): treat him like a dementia patient, just ask easy questions, lol and ask about himself as you can

Vee Barlett: Mm, that be delicious, yar. And what's yer favorite: ship or boat?

Levi Reed: quietly to Vee "Ask him what his favorite dragon is"

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Boats are for amaturers

Vee Barlett: laughs

Levi Reed: rude!

Vee Barlett: Yar, and how long ya been on ships?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: 20 years I have captained ships

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): idk, this is your territory lol

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): more bird questions maybe?

Vee Barlett: Port of Call, I mean. Not the drink. Although what's yer favorite drink? Gotta make sure yer comfy.

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Plithoth is my home

Inv Zora Polasis: The admiral?

Vee Barlett: How's workin' with the admiral? He yer favorite boss?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Admiral Jessup is fair, he is no Klipoth

Vee Barlett: snorts

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): I'm getting vibes of like, that elemental that we freed that was in love with the mage that Yout worked for. Or whatever that situation was.

Vee Barlett: Sorry, that be a funny rhyme.

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): It's been awhile.

Vee Barlett: What's yer favorite animal?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): ooh, favorite song? Maybe Rothuss could play it?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: The Gulls are dear to my heart

wyjyoon (Temperance): we did encounter a water elemental not too long ago, if that helps

Vee Barlett: Ahh them black-tipped ones? They be pretty, yeah?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: The black tipped Gulls are always a sign that you have arrived in a port

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Nah, I'm thinking of back in the old campaign

Vee Barlett: Yar, it a good sign.

Vee Barlett: Oop, back up. Not a fun memory, yeah?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): sorry

seyfert (Vee Barlett): it's okay it was a game of 20000 questinos of your favorite things, lol

Temperance: Did your sailors sing any songs while you sailed?

Temperance: Was there a favorite?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Singing is for women

wyjyoon (Temperance): ( meant to ask what was his favorite but whatever )

Vee Barlett: Shanty?

Rothuss Carder: chuckles.

Vee Barlett: What about a good shanty?

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Wow, sexist too

Vee Barlett: Jereth, as my favorite.... priest at the moment, anything ya need from us?

Vee Barlett: Are you comfy? Are you okay?

Rothuss Carder: Want to go see the gulls?

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): lol

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: My sister was pretty

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): Are there any spells that like... soothe people? We could offer that to him?

Vee Barlett: She not here anymore?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: She left long ago

Vee Barlett: Sorry to hear that.

Temperance: notes down which words Priest Jareth shut down on, such as 'dragons' and 'pirates'

seyfert (Vee Barlett): was hoping for someone else to talk to

wyjyoon (Temperance): I think I have an orison I can use to calm

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): actually magic I believe

Vee Barlett: Where your boss at?

seyfert (Vee Barlett): would make sense

wyjyoon (Temperance): double checking spells

seyfert (Vee Barlett): basic curse where you can't talk about certain things

seyfert (Vee Barlett): well not basic but.... stereotypical? :P

GM: He goes quiet and looks at the flowers in the garden

Vee Barlett: What's yer favorite flower?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Peonies are pretty

Inv Zora Polasis: Firebeard

Vee Barlett: Think thems call firewheels.

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: That is not a flower

Inv Zora Polasis: No

Inv Zora Polasis: seen a Firebeard?

Rothuss Carder: Green footprints?

GM: And he shuts down again

Vee Barlett: Well confirmin' what we knew there at least...

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): high fives Rothuss

Rothuss Carder: Firebeard didn't stop him, but footprints did

Temperance: notes it all down.

Levi Reed: Did someone curse you, Jareth?

Inv Zora Polasis: takes the flower from her hair and gives it to Jareth

GM: You have 15 mintues left to meet Ruffus at the ship

Vee Barlett: Well I ain't sure what else to ask. Y'all can take over or we can pick him some peonies and leve him.

Inv Zora Polasis: This one is pretty

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Very pretty

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: thank you

MadamePsychosis (Inv Zora Polasis): oh orange face can wait

wyjyoon (Temperance): lol

seyfert (Vee Barlett): lmao

wyjyoon (Temperance): he could try to steal the boat with no one around

Inv Zora Polasis: Thank you for helping us.

Vee Barlett: Maybe we can hear more of yer stories on day, yeah?

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: I am here to help

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): bullshit

Vee Barlett: Take care of yerself, mate. You had it rough.

Jereth of the Fourth Circle, protector of gulls, vision of the squid, and friend to the shrimp: Humms to himself

Temperance: exhales softly and reviews through her notes.

Rothuss Carder: plucks the strings of his lute to the tune of the shanty he sang earlier, as the group leaves.

Levi Reed: Well, anyone know what we'll need in case we encounter some dragons?

Vee Barlett: Better arrows.

Rothuss Carder: A god or two wouldn't hurt neither.

Temperance: laughs lightly.

Levi Reed: I should have donated more at the church

Rothuss Carder: I'm wondering how he got away, if it was a dragon. No boats, just a comatose dude floating in the sea alone?

Vee Barlett: Someone let him go.

Inv Zora Polasis: He said Jilanth was a dark place and nothing when I said Red Hook. I'm wondering if we should just go straight to Jilanth. But the footprints have been seen at Red Hook.

Rothuss Carder: Yeah, I'd like to check those out if we have time.

Vee Barlett: Three ships disappear and only he comes back? That ain't luck. That purposeful.

Inv Zora Polasis: True

Temperance: nods in agreement, as she continues to jot some notes.

Vee Barlett: Might find someone who can talk at Red Hook. Or not. Just be careful there.

Vee Barlett: It on the way, anyways.

Levi Reed: We got anything to protect our brains from getting scrambled like that?

Vee Barlett: Gotta have one first.

Levi Reed: I'm too young to go senile

Rothuss Carder: So where did Jareth there see footprints at, if it wasn't at Red Hook?

GM: The Mizzen page also linked on the News & Updates page

GM: (LINK)

Inv Zora Polasis: The Duke mentioned sightings at Red Hook

Temperance: Since I'm not sure what spells are scrambling these minds, all I can offer is a silence spell.

Rothuss Carder: Oh, do we know, before or after the Admiral disappeared?

Vee Barlett: If ya want to ask pirates about a dead pirate, it be at Red Hook.

Levi Reed: Vee, you really can dish it out, but you sure can't take it

Inv Zora Polasis: The ships were patrolling the passage at Jilanth

Vee Barlett: ignores Levi

Inv Zora Polasis: I'm not sure

LemonyLemon (Levi Reed): lol, thus proving his point
